Nintendo Unveils Official Carrying Case for Switch 2 Ahead of Launch

With the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 just weeks away from release, Nintendo has begun showcasing the official accessories that will accompany its next-generation hybrid console. Among them is a sleek carrying case, designed to make it easy for players to take their Switch 2 on the go—just like they did with the original system.

Set for release on June 5, 2025, the Switch 2 promises to deliver the same dual-functionality that defined its predecessor: it can be docked for traditional console gaming or used as a handheld device for gaming anytime, anywhere.

The Switch 2 Will Launch Alongside a Full Lineup of Accessories

Nintendo isn’t just launching a new console—it’s rolling out a complete ecosystem of supporting hardware. Alongside the Switch 2, fans can expect:

• Charging grips for the newly designed Joy-Con 2 controllers
• Replacement wrist straps, perfect for active games and long-term use
• A Switch 2 Pro Controller for players who prefer a more conventional, ergonomic gamepad
• And, of course, the official Nintendo carrying case

First Look at the Official Switch 2 Carrying Case

A short promotional video—originally shared on the Nintendo Today app and posted to Reddit by user Cube_play_8 —offered fans their first look at the official Switch 2 carrying case. The case sports a minimalist black design, tailored to hold the console in its tablet mode, with Joy-Con 2 controllers attached on either side of the touchscreen.

Inside the case is a center flap, which includes dedicated slots for Switch 2 game cards and extra wrist straps. A stylish detail: the case’s dual zippers come in red and blue, matching the colors of the Joy-Con 2 controllers and giving it a distinctly Nintendo flair.

Launch Date & Extra Features

🗓 Release Date: June 5, 2025

🎮 Also Launching That Day:

• Mario Kart World (as seen in the case promo, with a glimpse of the physical game card)
• The full range of Nintendo-branded Switch 2 accessories

The case will also come bundled with a screen protector, helping to keep the Switch 2’s touchscreen safe from scratches and wear during travel and extended use.

More Storage Options and Third-Party Alternatives on the Horizon

For players who want more space for accessories, Nintendo is preparing an expanded all-in-one case that will offer additional compartments for gear like charging cables, Joy-Con grips, and game card organizers. And as with the original Switch, third-party accessory makers are likely to introduce their own carrying cases soon after launch.

Still, the official Nintendo Switch 2 case offers a simple, stylish, and affordable solution for players eager to make the most of the console’s portable design. With its arrival just around the corner, Switch fans won’t have to wait much longer to carry their next adventure wherever they go.
